Survey of undergraduates in collective health in Brazil: where are the public health professionals formed by this?

Abstract

The first students of collective health at undergraduate level in Brazil were formed in 2012 and since then they have felt the need to broaden the discussions and debates about the professionalization of the public health. This study aimed to conduct a national survey of graduates in collective health in Brazil. Data collection was performed through interviews in a virtual environment. Because it is a fresh graduate in the field of healthcare graduations, these SUS workers are gradually exercising professional activities that are worth mentioning because they occupy these spaces in such a short time, reconfiguring perhaps the daily scenario of service health and qualifying the healthcare networks. It is up to the universities to stimulate and encourage studies and research in undergraduate and/or graduate from the perspective of the survey of graduates. Finally, we continue with a commitment to map regions that are yet to come for leveraging and creating real links with the collective health graduates with their universities.
